Students have heard what not to do on social media, but do they know how to use it to their advantage in the college admissions process?

As part of its “Social Media . . . THINK!” initiative, Pearland Independent School District will host the free workshop “Tweet, Post, Snap and Chat Your Way through College Admissions” Thursday, Oct. 27, 6 – 7:30 p.m. in the Dawson High School auditorium, 2050 Cullen Blvd.

Yolanda Norman, CEO and founder of FirstGenCollege Consulting, will share her expertise on using social media intentionally to brand oneself and get noticed by colleges and universities.

Parents and students are encouraged to bring smartphones and tablets for hands-on activities during the presentation.
